Abstract
We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with previous coronary angioplasty, ovarian cancer with multiple metastases and allergy to iodinated contrast media, who developed vasospastic angina after several treatments with cisplatin and cyclophosphamide, so that we considered this as a case of “allergic angina” or Kounis syndrome (type II variant). The patient underwent standard anti-ischemic therapy with nitrates, calcium blocking agents and enoxaparin so having an uneventful outcome.
